Family Fun Craft Idea for Halloween
Craft Foam Bats and Spiders
Conjure
up miniature bats and spiders to live in the mansion and hang life-size
versions in your doorway to greet visitors face-to-face.
Materials
· Scissors
· Black
foam sheets
· Glue
· Googly
eyes
· Fishing
line
· Masking
and Scotch tape
· Thumb
Tack (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cut
bat and spider shapes from the black foam sheets (design your own or to print
out our pattern shown below-resize with a copier). Foam Sheets available on
the Yarn Cat Crafts Page for Kids
Crafts – Foam.
2. Glue
on googly eyes (also available in Yarn Cat Crafts page for Kid’s Crafts ) and suspend the creatures with fishing line or
monofilament thread and tape. We suggest Scotch tape on the bodies and
masking tape on the hanging surface. Another option is to poke 2 holes in the
body with a thumb tack, thread the line through, knot it in back, and use
masking tape on the hanging surface only.

It's not quite for the kids, but if you're wanting to make some very detailed foam cutouts for decorations, craft foam like used on the bats can be easily and accurately cut with sharp silver craft knives that can give you some real detail.
